**pinpoint**: behavioral tracking using 2D barcode tags
=======================================
**pinpoint** is a Python library for generating and tracking 2D barcode tags.
The library uses numpy and matplotlib to generate barcode tags and uses OpenCV to automatically track each tag.
It provides a high-level API for the automated measurement of animal behavior and locomotion.
This software is still in early-release development. Expect some adventures.
